Two of the company\u2019s A.I. researchers shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, just hours after the Justice Department started spelling out plans that could lead to its break up.<\/p>\n

Google, thanks to the tens of billions of dollars it makes every year from its online search business, has long pursued giant research projects that could one day change the world.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the Nobel Prize committee conferred considerable prestige to Google\u2019s pursuit of big ideas. Demis Hassabis, the chief executive of Google\u2019s primary artificial intelligence lab, and John Jumper, one of the lab\u2019s scientists, were among a trio of researchers who received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry<\/a> for their efforts to better understand the human body and fight disease through A.I.<\/p>\n

The two Google scientists won their Nobels a day after Geoffrey Hinton, a former Google vice president and researcher, was one of two winners of the Nobel Prize in Physics<\/a> for his pioneering work on artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

The Nobel wins were a demonstration of the growing role artificial intelligence is playing in areas far beyond the traditional world of the high-tech industry, and were a reminder of Silicon Valley\u2019s influence in nearly every corner of science and the economy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThis is the year the Nobel committee got A.I.,\u201d said Oren Etzioni, a professor emeritus of computer science at the University of Washington. \u201cThese prizes are a conscious recognition of how influential A.I. has become in the scientific world.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the triumphant moment for Google was tempered by concerns that the commercial success that has allowed the company to pursue these long-term projects is under threat by antitrust regulators. The Nobel awards were also a reminder of worries that the tech industry isn\u2019t paying enough attention to the implications of its open-throttled pursuit of building more powerful A.I. systems.<\/p>\n
